Proof of Benefits Letters

If you need proof you get Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security (SSI) Income, or Medicare, you can get a benefit verification letter online by using your personal “MySocial Security” account. This letter of proof is sometimes called a “budget letter,” “benefits letter,” “proof of income letter,” or “proof of award letter.” Governments, organizations or banks may request this letter from your client if they apply for state or local benefits, a mortgage, assisted housing, or a loan.

You can also get proof that you have never received Social Security benefits or Supplemental Security Income, or proof that you have applied for benefits.
